Inter Miami Wins Supporters Shield: Inter Miami defeated Colombus 3-2 away to win their first-ever Supporters Shield, as they now hold an unassailable 11-point lead up top in the Eastern Conference. Lionel Messi was the star of the fixture, as his impeccable brilliant performance included a brace, chances created, 100% shot accuracy, successful dribbles, and recoveries.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner gave his side the lead, as a Jordi Alba long-ball was met by him and his calmness under pressure resulted in a clever goal.
The second goal was a thing of beauty as Lionel Messi rolled back the years with a scintillating free-kick to make it 2-0. More goals followed-in in the second-half but the most decisive moment came in the 84th minute, as Drake Gallaher saved Juan Hernandez's second penalty and the match ended 3-2.
